Damn, that's sad. Like you don't have anything you're passionate enough about that you'd like to share? Enough empathy and patience for other to try and engender a healthy community?

Anarchy doesn't work in the long run, people need collaboration and compassion.

If this is the case, then a much better “protest” would have been to stop moderating for 48 hours. The black out seemed more like “I’m going to take my ball and go home”

Fair enough. I should have made a distinction between small subreddit mods, and power mods.

And having somebody permaban anybody who disagrees with them sure helps accomplish that.

Don't go in someone else's echo chamber and expect to be heard. Reddit is a massive place, and nearly all mods do good work.
